The main story follows Bruce Wayne’s origins from training with the League of Shadows, to becoming the hero of Gotham City and forging his found family, while battling an increase array of powerful Super-Villains.
The Deluxe Edition includes the Legacy Collection and the Mayhem Collection. The Legacy Collection is available at launch, and includes over 30 different in-game items in three packs: the Arkham Trilogy Pack, Batman Beyond Pack, and Party Music Pack, featuring alternate suits, and an exclusive Batmobile.
The Mayhem Collection includes a new Story Mission featuring The Joker and Harley Quinn as playable characters. Plus a Mayhem Mode featuring the two villains, and the Sinister Pack, with more suits, Batcave props, and a new Batmobile design. The Mayhem Collection will release September 2026.
